Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement at a piece of furniture, especially a table, with a tabletop supported on the ground by means of legs at four separate locations.
  • the present invention provides a piece of furniture
  • the tabletop consists of two parts with adjacent edges running diagonally, that the adjacent edges are connected by hinges, and that one leg is applied at each end of the adjacent edges, and further one leg on each of the tabletop parts at a distance from the adjacent edges.
  • each tabletop part has two legs. That means that each tabletop part has only one leg at one end of the edge facing the corresponding edge of the other part, and one further leg. Since the other part has a leg at the opposite end of the adjacent edges, the table will have four legs and stand firmly on the ground.
  • a further embodiment of the invention has three legs on one of the tabletop parts, and one leg on the other part.
  • hinge movement is limited by an arrest that prevents a too large angular swing. This limitation is necessary to make it possible to carry and handle the table as an ordinary table. It is also necessary in order to make the table safe if someone should use it to stand on.
  • a favourable hinge design consists of two mutual

  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment with the table
  • Figure 2a shows the two halves of Figure 2 assembled to a rectangular table
  • Figure 3 shows the table parts of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and la in stacked form.
  • FIG. 4 shows in larger scale the hinge connection between two tabletop parts
  • Figure 5 shows the same embodiment as in Figure 3 with a special hinge connection
  • Figure 5a shows the assembled hinge connection between two tabletop parts as shown in Figure 5
  • Figure 6 shows two table parts of a still further embodiment
  • Figure 6a shows the table parts of Figure 6 assembled into a rectangular table
  • Figure 7 shows a laid table according to Figure la seen from above.
  • the embodiment according to the Figures 1 and 1a comprises two triangular tabletop parts 1 and 2.
  • the longer edges 3 and 4 have equal length. As shown in Figure 1a, it will be a leg 6 resp. 7 at one end of the adjacent edges 3 resp. 4. At the corner opposite the edge 3 resp. 4 is, for each part, applied a leg 8 resp. 9.
  • the adjacent edges 3,4 of the two. tabletops 1,2 are hinge-connected by a hinge arrangement as indicated at 11 and 12.
  • FIGS. 2 and 2a show an embodiment with one leg 13, 14,15 at each corner of the tabletop half 1'.
  • the other half 2' has a leg 16 at the corner opposite the adjacent edge 4.
  • the two halves 1' and 2' are connected by

  • FIG. 4 is shown an appropriate hinge connection design.
  • an extruded profile for instance of aluminium or plastic, with a protrusion 19 extending from the edge.
  • the protrusion 19 has an undercut, outwardly open slit 20 of circular
  • the other tabletop part has likewise a part 22 protruding from the edge 21 with an outer circular cross section complementary to the undercut slit 20.
  • FIG. 5 is shown a tabletop half 23 with hinge halves 25 and 2B applied at the edge 24 matching an edge on an identical tabletop part.
  • Figure 5a shows a partial cross section of two assembled tabletop parts 23 where the hinge halves 25 and 2B connect the parts.
  • a lock of a suitable kind that prevents the hinge parts from sliding out of engagement is indicated at 27
  • the lock is designed so that it can be engaged and disengaged easily, for instance by pushing the key 27 from the position shown on the Figure to a retracted position.
  • the table halves can be made identical so that they can be paired randomly to whole tables.
  • the adjacent edges 24 will touch at a certain angular swing, and thereby prevent the table from
  • the two table halves can be moulded in one piece in plastic where the hinge function is established by a zone of reduced thickness along the division line between the two halves. An increased flexibility along the division line is thus obtained, allowing a certain relative angle between the tabletop halves. Even this embodiment reqires arresting means to limit the angular swing.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments exemplified in the drawings and described in the text, but can be varied within the frame of the following patent claims. Only rectangular tables are shown on the drawings, the tabletop can, however, have any shape, for instance round, oval etc.

Abstract

Agencement d'une table dont le dessus est adapté pour être maintenu contre une surface par des pieds situés en quatre point différents. Le dessus de la table comprend deux éléments, pourvus de bords contigus, qui sont reliés l'un à l'autre par des charnières. Deux pieds sont disposés à proximité desdits bords contigus, et un pied supplémentaire est disposé sur chaque élément du dessus de la table à une certaine distance des bords contigus.
